Photo by the author. Drawing and front cover. - Aleksander Werner. Maps - Stanislaw Lipinski. "...This is a sketchbook of the author's experiences in the actions in which he took part in life - it is descriptions drawn on the fly, collected into one whole, giving a full picture of the spirit and simplicity of a soldier of the 2nd Corps. The book does not treat of a great battle, ending in a famous victory, but illustrates the arduous life in defense, unknown to the general public. The author depicts with realism and sincerity the daily experiences of a soldier in constant danger; on ambush, on patrol and on expedition, looking into the eyes of death, among treacherously strewn mines."
